WARTAKEPRI.co.id – Side effects after injecting the Covid-19 vaccine are very common, like other types of vaccines. These side effects usually include aches and pains at the injection site, fever and fatigue.
However, there are also some people who experience allergic reactions after injecting the Covid-19 vaccine. An allergic reaction after the Covid-19 vaccine can occur when a person is allergic to one of the ingredients in the vaccine.
This condition can have unpleasant effects that lead to anaphylaxis. Unfortunately, we also cannot detect someone who may experience an allergic reaction after injecting the Covid-19 vaccine.
However, people with a history of allergies have a high risk of experiencing an unpleasant reaction. Although allergic reactions to vaccines are quite serious, these events are rare.
Not everyone will experience an allergic reaction. Even so, all people who inject the Covid-19 vaccine must be monitored for side effects for 30 minutes. So, people who may experience allergic reactions can be treated immediately.
However, as reported by the Times of India, an allergic reaction to the Covid-19 vaccine is different from an adverse reaction. An adverse reaction to a vaccine is defined as a serious reactogenic, often life-threatening side effect when a person is given a vaccine shot.
One thing that makes this side effect different from an allergic reaction after injecting the Covid-19 vaccine is the reaction itself. Allergic reactions are mediated by an immediate immune response. However, adverse reactions, such as blood clots or myocarditis can be seen within 7-20 days after the Covid-19 vaccine.
In addition, allergic reactions usually occur of 2 types, severe and non-severe. Allergic reactions that do not require medical treatment are not severe and can be treated on their own.
The delay in the appearance of an allergic reaction due to a vaccine is also different from an adverse reaction. Allergic reactions usually appear a few minutes after vaccination. Meanwhile, adverse reactions can occur in a long time.
Because the timing and occurrence of allergic reactions to vaccinations is unpredictable, it is important that all recipients of the Covid-19 vaccine are aware of the symptoms.
If you experience an unpleasant reaction a few minutes after being vaccinated, tell your health care provider immediately. An immediate allergic reaction can strike no later than 4 hours after vaccination.
If you develop a rash at the injection site for the Covid-19 vaccine, tell your healthcare provider. Some antihistamines and allergy medications can help.
If there is a severe reaction, such as anaphylaxis (which can cause you to pass out, sweat), health workers may take you to the nearest hospital.(voice)
